Hero Arts June My Monthly Hero kit release!

This is a fun one! A safari theme! (To get yours look at the links at the end of this post for the link) Keep in mind that these are limited edition. I have a feeling that this one is going to sell out fast!

I've had fun playing with this one.

To create this card I used Wild Honey, Carved Pumpkin and Barn Door Distress Inks as watercolors on watercolor cardstock. After creating the coloring I wanted for the sunset I used the die that comes in the kit to die cut it. This is such a unique die. I haven't seen anything like it anywhere.

To create the tree and animal I stamped them on white cardstock with Hero Arts Intense Black ink and then die cut them with the coordinating dies that come with the kit. For the greeting I wanted a one line greeting so I cut the greeting in the set apart so I could line them up this way. I heat embossed with Versamark and white embossing powder on a black cardstock strip.

To assemble the card I adhered the sunset to a top folding Desert Storm card base. I cut orange strips from the Hero Arts Sunshine Mix layering papers and adhered them. Before adhering the tree I cut off part of it so it would line up with the strip. Then I adhered the greeting strip. The final touch was a little sewing machine stitching on one of the orange strips.

I made another card with this kit and it was in one of the countdown posts on the Hero Arts blog. Here is the card .. you can find detail on that blog post here.

Thanks for stopping by today!
